CONQUERING YOURSELF
A comprehensive guide to taking control of your life and spiritual health.
BECOMING THE MASTER OF YOUR OWN BEING is a goal that almost every spiritual school of thought stresses- whether it is Buddhism, Sufism, Hinduism, Kabbalah, Sikhism or New Age Spirituality. Before you can master yourself, you need to know yourself. In spirituality and in life, complete self-awareness is the key to success.
Guru Nanak said,‘ One who realises one’ s self, comes to know the essence.’ [ SRI GURU GRANTH SAHIB, PAGE 224 ] A famous Sufi saying also states that one who recognises one’ s self recognises God.
Coming to truly know yourself is a huge accomplishment. In the past, people who achieved this feat were marked in history as saints of God. To obtain self-realisation, you are required to not only embark upon the spiritual path, but to be acutely aware of your own emotional and psychological state at all times.
True self-awareness used to take an incredible amount of dedication: aspirants would go through vigorous spiritual austerity, often abandoning their homes in favour of making the jungle their abode for this purpose. However, today with the help of the spiritual sciences dispensed by His Divine Eminence Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi, it is easier than ever before to attain the seemingly unattainable!
This guide will walk you through the different aspects of self-awareness and offer you tricks and tips to help you learn more about yourself.
